VFX Supervisor Scott Geersen was asked by ClemengerBBDO and Curious Film to take two intrepid mountaineers and place them on a sheer rock-face high up one of the world’s tallest mountains, and allow them to cool their heels for a few days.
With blue screen and some set extensions, plates were shot only a few feet off the ground. We then added some digital snow and FX plates, a bit of fog, some particle animation, pack cleanups, and the obligatory epic mountain range in the distance.
Flapping jowls were captured in camera with a jet of pressurised air.
